Phil's is the best desert XC evar!

Results got posted online today and further review yielded some awesomeness. Turns out AC beat the women's Cat 1 winner (by almost 1.5 minutes, and she started before the hail!) and thus had the...

Is there a reason you need a physical map? I'd highly recommend just using Trailforks, especially if you plan to ride Park City at all. Staying in the valley or somewhere else? Looking for quick...

Dark Hollow Super D was epic. Full-on hailstorm at the start and pedaled the Sydney Peaks section drenched with knumb fingers. It let up at the pond and after that it was on, cool temps and prime...

That goddam brilliant.



That's at least half of my rides on porcy :D

It's been way too long since I've done it. I really need to suck it up and deal with the shitshow so I can get the kiddo...

I split my shin open 3" long to the bone a few years ago. It was pretty gnarly, the front desk lady at the clinic kind of freaked when she saw it. Luckily I was only about a mile from the bottom and...

Tell me you don't have kids without telling me you don't have kids ;)

Sorry man, best of luck to you however this works out.

If we're throwing a grammar Nazi party I'll add the use of "have got" instead of simply "have." In speech it's hard to avoid and I'm guilty myself, but in writing it's inexcusable.

6-mile backcountry descent (re)built by our very own raisingarizona. Gotta be fit to be fast but fitness alone won't win it. No mass start BS either, racers run at 2-minute intervals.

Without bothering to look at any of the data, my take is that is they've cut prices from "absurd" to "slightly less absurd." There are far worse places to live than Provo, but it's every Utah...

Lots of spots still open for the Brianhead Dark Hollow Super D this Sunday.

Ford 5.4 owner here. I figure bike commuting is saving me at least $100/mo and work isn't even that far away.

Wait, I thought you had an Ohlins fork on the Gnarv?



I was up Days on Saturday. Two get-offs for deadfall a little ways below the flash flood blowout spot, a couple small snow patches in the...

If the fx is non-symptomatic that muddies the waters even more. I'd definitely get at least one more opinion. I'd lean toward surgery for a young active person who participates in sports with a...

I'd replace them. The permanent 10-year batteries in the new ones make it worth the cost. You can't put a price on no more 3:00 am beeping. Maybe wait a bit to see if they go on sale.

Ribs definitely can be too tender. Mine come out perfect w/o crutching, but that may be due to using a propane grill.

That would make a lot more sense.

Good guidelines for acromion fx treatment don't seem to exist, but no callous formation and more displacement at 7 weeks would seem to indicate surgery:
...

Something seems way off here. "Bodyweight" air pressure, which I assume means 150-200 psi, is super high for a fork so it's really weird that it would still feel too soft.

Indeed. Now he's got to graduate to spare ribs.

It should basically cook the same. I'd probably give it a bit less smoke and crutch it earlier, but shoot for the same final target temp.

FIFY

Anyone know what the snow situation in the Stansburys is?

"Sentient" is debatable, but that transcript is pretty crazy. It probably helps that it's talking to a Google engineer. It may be less impressive against someone from GenPop.

These Herban Empire guys are pretty good. A friend's daughter is in the movie so this is extra cool.

JFC, the drug use number is patently false.

Wow, and I thought the hoardes of slowpokes in Draper last night were bad. Time go hide in Beartrap, Days, Honey and Silver for the rest of the summer. If those get busy all hope is lost.
...

No freestroke adjustment on the Dominions. They're already factory-tuned to be as short as possible. And, LOL, turns out the caliper-side seal fell out and I didn't notice.

Oh FFS, it's 31 million tons of ore. Assuming a typical concentration of 1 oz/ton that's about 900 metric tons of gold total, which is about 1/3 of annual global production and worth about $50...

This Freakonomics episode makes the morality argument against LIV seem a little less cut-and-dry: https://freakonomics.com/podcast/what-is-sportswashing-and-does-it-work/

Don't get me wrong,...

What's the recommended course of action if you get attacked by a leopard?
...

How long until the motors are integrated with a Pinion-style gearbox? No more rear derailleurs will really get me interested.

Theoretically, breathing nose-only should be beneficial in the heat. It will keep you at a lower intensity and it reduces respiratory water loss by almost 50% IIRC. I feel like it helps me but I have...

Returning to this seems practical:

Yeah, he's reported some stunning performance improvements using palmar cooling. For instance, former 49ers TE Greg Clark used his techniques and tripled the number dips he could do in a workout...

I need to find this. Luckily it's all on Boissal's Strava! ;)

I might need to find some people to carpool with this summer. The price of gas has me pretty unenthused about driving to PC. I...

It doesn't, and the inflation hedge argument seems like quite a reach given how BTC has performed in the last 6 months, especially if you don't live in a handful of outlier countries.

So how do the poor, who have no money to invest that they can afford to lose completely, benefit from crypto?

Count me in on this request!



I genuinely thought the PC authorities stopped caring about rogue trail building long ago. There are already so many unsanctioned trails that have been on...

That looks like a scary spot to eat shit!

Agree on the presentation point. On doneness, this may sound blasphemous, but steaks like skirt, flap and flank have a different muscular structure than steaks cut from the loin and rib primals and...

I give a Brighton bike park a 0% chance of happening. Brighton management seems to have zero interest in summer ops. Years ago the WAFTA guys approached them about the idea and Brighton told them...

10 L is clearly an impractical suggestion, but by all accounts it's a taxing ride with lots of grade reversals, especially on the lower half where it's hottest. If you go into it thinking you're...

Are you familiar with Craig Heller's work? Some of the results he has reported are almost unbelievable and I'd love to hear your take.

My understanding is that it depends on your goals and is akin to training at altitude. Heat and altitude both will reduce the quality of your workouts, so if your goal is maximum fitness gainz you...

Jesus. "Ear ache" was some kind cerebral embolism due to a covid blood clot?

Sick!
